As the whole world loves Czech beer, it’s hardly surprising that several national feast days have been dedicated to this beverage. What are the most famous?
Saint Patrick’s Day
What do the Irish say when asked about their biggest celebration? Definitely “Lá ’le Pádraig!” Don’t recognise the name? But you will have heard of Saint Patrick’s Day. Celebrated in Ireland, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and North America, with people taking to the streets on the 17th March each year to rejoice, dance and, above all, drink fine beer.
International Beer Day
International Beer Day is a movable feast that falls on the first Friday in August. It was first celebrated in the USA, before spreading across the entire globe. We should do three things on this day: celebrate the brewer’s art, invite our friends for a beer, support local breweries.
Saint Wenceslas’ Day
Prince Wenceslas plays an important role in Czech history and is regarded as the country’s patron saint. But did you know that he is also the patron saint of brewers and Czech beer?
Oktoberfest
Germans like extravagant celebrations, and if you enjoy beer too, you should head to Munich at the end of September and in early October for the Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfest usually lasts for sixteen days. Typically, six million people attend the Oktoberfest, during which 30% of the annual production of Bavarian breweries is consumed.
